Lady Directed Shrubbery Planting at the Depot.

The fenced in plat of ground just east of the depot has been ’andseaped and set out with a large quantity and great variety of hardy shrubs and the arrangement is very artistic and should ad 1 greatly to the appearance of the depot sursoundings. The work was planned and executed under the direction of Mrs. A. E. McCrea, who came here three or four weeks ago to plan the work under the direction of President Delano, of the Monon. Mrs. McCrea is a landscape gardner of great ability and has the landscape work for a number of railroads. f Mrs. McCrea is to return here Saturday and has very kindly offered to deliver a free lecture that evening, using for her subject the beautification of cities and towns. She informed Agent Beam that-she will be greatly pleased to do this, making no charge whatever, and Agent Beam has proposed that the Ladies Literary Society take the matter up and this will probably be done. It is very timely and a large audience should hear Mrs. McCrea if the arrangements are completed.
